S.A.’s Summer Glau: Esquire dream girl

Before we usher in April . . . Let’s give a final toast of the month to Esquire’s March “Woman We Love” dream girl: San Antonio’s own Summer Glau.

Wow! I was behind in my magazine reading and just saw the story and pictorial on “Firefly” and “Terminator” star Glau, who returns to S.A. regularly as she shares a home in the Texas Hill Country with her family.

OK, so the fate of her latest TV venture, “The Cape” on NBC doesn’t look great . . . particularly since the season finale aired online instead of on the tube.

And it can’t feel good to read about people wondering if there’s “a Summer Glau curse” considering how short-lived some of her television shows have been.

But it certainly was a feast for the eyes to see the S.A.-born geek guy’s fantasy looking so lithe and lovely on the pages of this very readable magazine.

A couple of things she revealed in the article: Her drink of choice is whiskey (not the tequila she liked in the past). And she tries to avoid reading about herself online and isn’t even into Facebook these days.

“I used to be on Facebook, but I kept getting hacked, so I just deleted it,” she says in the Q&A. “And I try not to read stuff about me online, but you can’t help it. I’ll have one day when I’m feeling bad about myself, and that’s always the day you go looking for it. And you’ll find it — the people who say you’re hideous, or that you always play the same role, or that you’re a show killer. I’ll think, There must be some truth to it or else they wouldn’t write it.”

Ah, Summer, don’t take any of that to heart! You’re so pretty, sweet and talented, you’ll be scooped up by some director again before you know it. Meantime, it would be so cool to see you in another guest shot on “The Big Bang Theory.”
